Stoner Hive

September 6, 2013September 24, 2026

The honorable sir Harry Cloud has been responsible for quite a few releases that warp your brain and boil your blood. On his latest effort Cops he fuses Doom, Sludge and Shoegaze into something equally disturbing as his Single Mothers effort. This time Cops is a trio comprised of Chlöe Mandel, Harry Cloud and Paul Roessler who was a prominent member of the LA Punk scene in the seventies and eighties. And there is a bit of throwback sound on it that seems to revisit that late-eighties LA sound. But for the most part we get a poetic piece of......

For those not familiar with COPS, I expect ears to prick up considerably when I mention it's a new project from Harry Cloud, whose Indian Pussy album so delighted me last year and which I probably even under-valued until I found myself getting stuck into it repeatedly towards the end of 2013. For this project, Harry's teamed up with Chloe Mandel and Paul Roessler and together they've put out this three-track EP, which you can get as name-your-price at their bandcamp site here. Unless you're one of those sadly inadequate individuals who found Harry's album last year and, indeed, Ocean......

The Burning Beard

Away With The Clouds.... "First impressions can be a bit of a bitch. When I'm faced with a cover depicting a burning mini van and a family of moose in a paddling pool, it's easy to just past judgement and think, 'well, this is going to be mental.' Where as, now having listened to it, what I should really have been thinking was, 'this is going to be fucking mental'... Because it is. Like, inside the head of a psychopath kind of mental. Dark, dirty and incredibly goddamn eerie." "I'm completely at a loss as what to actually write about......

Dim Damn Doom

March 3, 2013September 21, 2026

The new Harry Cloud is out and this year can't be as shitty as I'm waiting it to be if there's a Cloud LP in the aural sky. Remember that Harry Cloud is the name behind last year's Single Mothers LP called Indian Pussy and now re-released under the Harry Cloud name (I've changed the cover on the post). Quite different this new one is full of gems and provides to the poor creature we are his load of celestian noise in which it's so pleasant to drown like a suffocating baby in its mother's amniotic fluid. The Melvins flavor......

The Sludgelord

February 12, 2013September 21, 2026

Harry Cloud is an Avant-Garde/Experimental/Noise/Stoner Rock Musician from USA Now I have featured Harry's crazy blend of Experimental music before back in 2012 when he was known under by Single Mothers. He has had to change it, as an actual band exists with that name and not to cause confusion he has reverted to this name. Now let me make one thing clear. Harry has come back bigger and ever to cause confusion amongst the listener with his superb and highly addictive new release - Ocean Song. Ocean Song features Harry's unique take on Stoner Rock. Loud bursts of Ambient......

Dreadful Discs

September 12, 2012September 21, 2026

This CD is a strange brew of post-punk noise, electronics, fried country and surprisingly adept melodic pop-rock. Mr. Cloud seems proficient in all genres and cycles through the flotsam and jetsam of rock n' roll to cobble together unconventional songs that express a broad and unique range of ideas and emotions. This album shifts through some disturbing moods that leave the listener feeling dirty, degraded, disorientated... before delivering up something bouncy, joyful and affirming; sometimes all within the same song. You just might end up with a severe case of Stockholm harry cloud INDIAN PUSSY WAS RECORDED BY KITTEN ROBOT......

Drug Punk

This is a good recording, despite having what is unquestionably one of the dumbest titles I've come across since I got this blog started (1 mean, stoopid is cool, but stupid is just stupid, yeh?). Harry Cloud lurches, crawls, and drags his audience, willing or not, through seven tracks of alternatingly atmospheric and suffocatingly direct stoner jams here, and you can bet that there's plenty of pitfalls, booby traps, and side/soundeffects that sound like the voices in yr head. I see this appealing mostly to those of you whose youths were spent in intense, focused study of the Southern Lord......

Dim Damn Doom

July 25, 2012September 21, 2026

What is the fuck? How is it possible I missed this one-man band for so long and only discover it with his 3rd LP, 7 years after the first one? You may think that it's not totally consistent with the general doom/sludge atmosphere of the blog but I don't mind. This guy, Harry Cloud, seems much honestly devilishly sick than most of narrow-minded sparsely-neuronal-equipped members of most so-called demonic bands. I find in this music what made Godstopper or The Reverend of Despair so precious discoveries. They are unpredictable, do not follow any pre-established formula, and finally are the only......
